When it comes to sex drive, many men pride themselves on their virility and libido – and that’s precisely why a sudden drop in sex drive can be so unnerving.

A low libido is a common symptom of andropause, which typically occurs in middle-aged men who don’t produce as much testosterone as they did in their younger days. In addition to a lower libido, andropausal men often experience fatigue, a decrease in muscle mass, and a general sense of lethargy.

Andropausal men may also experience difficulty getting and maintaining an erection. This can be a frustrating experience for men who have previously enjoyed an active and healthy sexual appetite.
